My little Mo turned 3 last week. I can hardly believe it. Unfortunately, his birthday happened to be a couple weeks after Sadie was born, so his sleep-deprived mom was too tired to make any big plans. In my guilt, I convinced John to go to his least favorite place for a birthday lunch - an over priced pizza buffet with games and rides and cheap prizes. Of course, the boys loved it and I think Matt Mo felt special, so that's all that matters.
Birthday boys get special privileges when it comes to playing the games...
This game was definitely a favorite (what little boy doesn't love permission to whack something?)...
Mo thought he was pretty cool stuff throwing the mini bowling ball down the lane...
And riding the Harley like Uncle Dan...
And don't forget about the highlight of every trip to Gatti Town - the train ride through the parking lot...
We did cake and ice cream and presents with the family the following Sunday. Somewhere in between, Mo took a nasty fall at the park and landed on his face. Poor little birthday boy...
Make a wish...
It's my party and I'll make a mess if I want to...
His big present was a 3 wheeler scooter - just his size and more stable. Don't worry, we'll definitely be wearing a helmet (and perhaps full-body gear given his track record) when we take it to the streets...
Happy birthday Matt Mo...we love you!

Congrat to Matt! I laughed about the part of John's least favorite place. James feels the exact same way. The color drains from his face as we walk into that jungle every year. He can hardly wait for the boys to grow out of place like that for their birthdays.
Looks like fun. We have never been to Gatti town. I am sure Keira would love it but us not so much. Keira got that same scooter from Santa only in pink. For a while it was here mode of transportation around the house. She wouldn't walk to the bathroom, to get a drink etc.. she would ride her scooter. I bet he loves it!
Oh, his poor nose! What a cutie! I don't look forward to little boy owies...they seem so much worse than what my girls do.
Happy Birthday to Matt Mo!
